Dear Lord,

I know your a fair God, and although you allowed that ego, selfish and "me first" driven team the Lakers to win 3 straight titles. Including one in 2002 against the sharing, loving, and "all that is good team" the Sacramento Kings.
I know that one day you will bless this team and its fans with a title of its own. Lord I pray that tomorrow at roughly 5:30pm you will bless the Kings with Either Blake Griffen or Ricky Rubio, and whoever it should be that player will go on to do good things for this team, the community and ultimately bring Sacramento its first championship!

Amen

Dear Lord,

Please bring PF Blake Griffin to the Kings. Let him punish the opposing teams for years to come. Especially the Lakers. Also, on a side note, let us draft John Wall in 2010 and sign Lebron James in 2010 FA. Would it be too much to ask for a shiney new arena as well? Preferably one with a location close to my house and also that will not impede the flow of traffic. Then the Kings can dominate the NBA for years to come and bring swift justice to all the doubters & haters. Especially the Lakers.

Amen

ps Could I also win the California Mega Millions lotto? I'd prefer becoming instantly rich to working for a living. Thx again!

I prefer dear Santa.

Dear Santa,

I know it's May and you hate the heat, but I'd like my gift early this year. Please take a special trip down to NYC and use your magic (how does that work exactly? Is it triggered by a wand? Or maybe a wiggle of your nose like 'I Dream of Jeannie"? Pixie dust? Spell book? get back to me on that) on those ping pong balls to get the Kings combination to show up for the #1 pick. I know I'm racking up the naughty points this year so far (The police way overreacted anyways,) but I promise I'll work my way back to the nice list in no time, you can count on me. If not for me, do it for all the swell Kings fans who are just dying for some good fortune this year.

P.S. I don't know if there'll be cookies at the draft lottery, maybe CWebb can hook you up with some pizza or something.

Hoping to finally break the 20 year naughty list streak,
Vlade4GM

Dear Lord,

I am not asking for your divine favor not for myself but for an entire community, i am praying for your guidance and for your insurmountable love for us all that the people of sacramento, and those of the kings fan base be blessed this day for they deserve every blessing that comes in their way. For with these people i have learned to love basketball and true fandom, Lord i thank you again for every opportunity that you have given us.

i thank you lord for bringing me here to this fanbase and that i have known all these wonderful people, please lord if not for me please do it for those loyal fans of sacramento, those people who have supported their team through thick and thin.. Lord what ever number you bestow upon us we will accept as it is your will.. and i pray that the one we pick will be able to rebuild our kingdom

amen

The Easter Bunny is but one of many of his faces. MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Look, it falls to somebody here to show the true depth of their fanhood and offer up their soul for that pick. I would do so myself, except mine's already mortgaged. :p

Alternately you can do good work sacrificing virgins...but good luck finding any of those anymore. :D

Wait wait wait, so you're saying I could've been getting stuff for killing virgins? Jeez, now you tell me.

I think you people are praying to the wrong side of the aisle for this sort of thing. ;)
Okay, I rubbed my rabbit's foot, dabbed some whiskey on my mojo hand, and lit a candle. But no sacrificing black roosters at the crossroads at midnight, because it's midnight now and I'm fresh out of roosters.

I'm not a religious man, but the collective of all that I am is focused on sending some type of spiritual power that will guide the NBA Lottery, so that the Kings get the #1 pick.

Dear Flying Spaghetti Monster,

May your noodly appendage touch the lottery balls and favor Sacramento with the #1 pick in the 2009 draft. May management show the meatitude necessary to make the proper selection. If this is thy will, I will honor thee through acts of piracy and smuggling. May you be encouraged by my acts and send me to the afterlife, with stripper factories and beer volcanoes.

In your noodliness I pray,

R'amen.

The quality of mercy is not strained. It dropeth from heaven like a gentle rain upon my face. Thereby cleansing me of all guilt and expectation. And so as I go forward into the world of basketball as a purified spirit, I look to the heavens and pray one last time for the redemption of my team. And if that doesn't do it, then who do I pay to cheat...:rolleyes:

Your Basketball Holiness, Naismith by name,

You have visited a multitude of plagues on Kings’ fans for many years, despite the sacrifice of money, mental health, family, household chores and work hours, not to mention buying HD, big screen TVs with the kids’ college money.

We would gladly sacrifice every cherished Kings jersey, bumper sticker, key chain, beanie, t-shirt, fuzzy slippers (yes, VF) and bobblehead doll upon your altar, if you reward our loyalty and dedication with the number one pick in this year’s draft. (Well, maybe not quite all of them.) All this we are willing to do, despite the fact you actually owe us big time for 2002 and one number one pick will only begin to balance the scales.

*As a side deal, to assuage the spirits of the Indian burial ground under Arco Arena, I personally, promise to spend money at as many Indian gaming casinos this year as I can.

That's too much...:D Hilarious. You've found a new calling. I really think you need to expand this to prayers before every regular season game. Maybe with LA you could send them straight to the bad place...

Amen!!!

And I'll even sacrifice a pair of purple slippers to Ooga Booga, for whom Bricklayer has expressed a certain interest, if not belief...
